If you are planning to do record videos, I would suggest you use the 0.8 version, 0.9.1 recording quality sucks.

Thanks this was really helpful but I have a problem now. After running the sh red5.sh script, I lose my normal command prompt and have blank lines below the [INFO] [Launcher:/installer] org.red5.server.service.Installer – Installer service created

How do I get back to my Ubuntu command prompt…?

Kokoro

Just figured out the answer to the question in my previous post

use Ctrl+C to get back to command line. Whew! Now I just have to figure out why I’m getting a connection error when I try to “install a ready made app”

Ok, sorry to keep posting update questions here. Ctrl+c does get me back to a command prompt but it also stops the red5 server How to I back out of red5.sh without shutting down the server? Any help will be appreciated.

Kokoro

Not really the best solution but I managed to run the script

sh red5.sh

from a command line prompt within Webmin. I didn’t get any feedback from the command in webmin, it just hung but apparently the server was started because now everything works I’m sure my problems are simply a result of me not knowing what I’m doing. Got it working though. Hopefully I’ll figure out “the right way” soon.

Thanks for this great little tutorial.
I followed it, but I’d like to have the /etc/init.d/red5 start|stop|restart|status|… script.
I found one from there http://www.linuxmaza.com/system-administration/init-script-to-start-stop-restart-red5-flash-media-server/ but it’s saying “Can’t open /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions”

HI Nicky,
i need a help to trace out y my red 5 server not running. when i try to connect through browser it return unable to connect http://myIP:5080

I’m running Cygwin, using the latest stable version of Red5, so installing and linking to Java in my environment is slightly different.

But here’s what I do and what I get

~$ export CLASSPATH=/usr/share/red5/boot.jar
~$ sh /usr/share/red5/red5.sh
Running on CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64
Starting Red5
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/red5/server/Bootstrap
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.red5.server.Bootstrap

Could not find the main class: org.red5.server.Bootstrap. Program will exit.

You can see that I set the classpath right before I do this, but it still can’t find it.

Thanks for this demo (even 3 years later). I tried apt-get install red5-server on Ubuntu 12.04 to install version 1.0 and it didn’t install correctly. Simply using ./red5.sh worked.
